I knocked on my best friends door, fixing my hair, just in case Lucas answers the door.
The door opened and there stood Riley. "Oh hey." I said, trying to hide my disappointment.
"Lucas is at baseball practice." Riley said, reading my mind.
Yes, I have a crush on Riley's twin brother, Lucas. (A/n I know they look nothing alike but this is just a fanfic)
Riley teases me about it all the time and has been trying to get us together since forever.
But I'm stuck in the old friend zone.
I set my overnight bag down on the couch and sat down.
"Wanna do makeovers?" Riley said, grinning.
The last time we did this things went horribly wrong with my hair. Riley put my hair in a high bun tied up with a rubber band and it got stuck in my hair.
So mrs Matthews had to cut my bun off to get it out. We were 7.
"Fine, but I'm doing your hair!" I said
"Yes!" Riley said. "I'll be right back." I watched her leave to her bedroom to get her makeover stuff.
I sat back on the couch and relaxed.
Suddenly, the front door opened and there stood Lucas in his baseball uniform.
"Hey Maya!" He said, waving at me with his baseball mitt."
"H-hey." I stuttered. I mentally facepalmed myself. Smooth Maya.
Lucas didn't seem to notice it. He sat his bag down on the table and came to sit next to me.
Our arms touched for a millisecond and I shivered at the touch.
"Where's Riley?" He asked me, trying to start a conversation I guess.
Lucas's eyebrow raised, also remembering my bun incident.
"Don't worry, I'm doing her hair this time."
He laughed and tugged my ponytail playfully, like he always has done since we were little kids.
Riley finally came back with her makeover kit. "Hey Lucas."
She noticed how close we were sitting and wiggled her eyebrows at me.
"stop it!" I whisper yelled. She smiled at me.
Lucas spoke up, "well I gotta go shower." He said, looking down at his dusty baseball uniform.
He was about to leave when he turned back around, looking back at me.
"Hey Maya? I was wondering if after you want to get a bite to eat?"
I blinked. Did he just ask me out?
"You don't have to..." Lucas reassured me.
I jumped up. "No no I wanna go!!" I realized how excited my voice sounded and played it off "I mean yeah yeah sounds cool."
He winked at me and then left.
I waited till the bathroom door was closed and glanced at Riley,
Suddenly, we started jumping up and down fangirling.
We didn't notice that Lucas came back out.
We stopped. "I like jumping!" Riley shrugged.
He laughed at us and said "I forgot my towel..."
We watched him leave again and Riley nudged me "remember best friends before boyfriends."
My face turned red. "He's not my boyfriend."
"Yet."
